Review Roundup For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Reviews have officially gone live for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and just like its predecessor Breath of the Wild, this sequel is earning critical acclaim from most outlets. Tears of the Kingdom is being praised for not only building on Breath of the Wild's foundation with substantial and thoughtful ideas, but also for its vast number of quality-of-life improvements.
«The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is so much more than a sequel to Breath of the Wild. While this newest entry in the Zelda franchise is most recognizably similar to that 2017 game, it builds upon the foundation so thoroughly and transformationally that it feels like a revelation,» Steve Watts wrote in GameSpot's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom review. «This is The Legend of Zelda at its finest, borrowing the best pieces and qualities from across the franchise's history and creating something new that is emotionally resonant, captivating, and endlessly rewarding.»
